If a person tsh is 2.1 but they stil experienc awful hypothy symptms would it be n reason 2 ask for a higher dose of synthroid (thyroxine) vs the 75 mcg their on?

Hypo symptoms: If the TSH is normal, it is likely your symptoms are not that of hypothyroidism, but something else. If you keep pushing the synthroid (thyroxine) to the point of hyperthyroidism, you will start getting different symptoms, maybe to include cardiac and bone complications.
